If you go apple picking this season, use your harvest to make homemade applesauce—then use that to make these homemade doughnuts. This recipe uses maple syrup to sweeten the dough, but any liquid sweetener will work.

These easy doughnuts can be made in only 15 minutes, and they’re vegan and gluten-free. These doughnuts also avoid artificial colorings by using beets to achieve a red hue—and sneak in some extra nutrients.

Homemade chai spice, made with ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and a hint of black pepper, gives these healthy doughnuts a decidedly fall feel. Use a mixer or sift the coconut flour beforehand to eliminate clumps.
